I got tagged and so have YOU! If you are reading this you are tagged and you have to post 7 unusual things about yourself. I am a sucker for these things, like the "get to know you emails" I think it is fun to see what others say about themselves. So here are 7 unusual things about me:
1. If you say a word or phrase that reminds me of a song, I will start singing. I can't help it and I don't even know I am doing it sometimes. My husband likes to test me sometimes and without fail if he says something about Saturday, I start singing "Saturday is a special day, its the day we get ready for Sundays"
2. I sometimes reload dishes after my husband has already loaded them. Funny thing is I used to make fun of my OCD brother-in-law for doing this (and he is worse than me) but I like things loaded a certain way to maximize the load potential.
3. I LOVE Jane Austen books and movies. (That one was for you Lizzythebotonist, you hater).
4. I can't cook in a messy kitchen. If my kitchen isn't totally clean when I go to cook something, I have to clean everything first then I can cook. And sometimes I get really frustrated about this.
5. I don't love to be alone. While there are moments when it is really nice to have some alone time, as a whole I love being around people. I would rather go grocery shopping or any other errand with a friend, if I could.
6. I like to talk on the phone while I clean. Some of you have been victims of my Saturday chores round of calling. But I usually clean when Emery is sleeping and so I don't really listen to music, and chatting makes the chores seem more fun.
7. I am very analytical. I think that is why I decided to study psychology in school because I always wonder what the deeper meaning behind what people say and do. I am fascinated by relationships and people. At the same time, I over analyze what I say and do as well and often driving my husband crazy asking him if I sound dumb or whatever. I will probably do so after this post.
So, there you have it. Can't wait to see what you all write.

I loved reading this. It is great to be reminded of you :) I love Jane Austen books too. In fact, this years book club suggestion by me was Persuasion that we are reading next month...so fun!! I love to talk while I iron and do chores too. It seems way more productive right? I laughed and loved that you break out in song. How fun to be living in a real life musical!
I remember your Pride & Prejudice marathons very well. It seemed like you and Kendee could watch them every Sunday and never get sick of them.
iron? is "the farnsworth family" living in the 1800's? who irons? i guess it's jane austin fans who cling to the distant past.....touche!
that's funny about the singing thing. I kind of do the same thing, if someone starts a song I can't help but join or finish. I love P and P as well. A new good book btw is Twilight by Stephenie Myers. My husband pretty much wanted to burn it when I was done because I was obsessed.
Ilove reading that fun stuff about you! I am OCD about cooking in a dirty kitchen too! I think it makes me feel like my food is dirty.
I have a fun personality book I bet you would like. Its called "Just Your Type". It tells you about yourself, and if you are compatible with other personality types.
I also hate cooking in a dirty kitchen, and Sean is the one who "re-loads" the dishwasher for me. You are not the only one with OCD, or I should say CDO (if you want them in alphabetical order :))
I am sure I would love to read the book, Jill. One of my all time favorite classes was personality theory. We took a ton of those stupid personality tests.
I may have to sort of agree with LTB, I certainly don't iron. But I don't see the harm in clinging to the distant past. People told me I was totally stuck in the 80's in high school. I love 80's stuff.
Glad to know I am not the only OCD person. My closet is organized by color, anyone else?
I'm totally with you on #4 and 7.
I find the idea of getting tagged with unusual facts about yourself quite intriguing.
